Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry!
Below are two albums of pictures that I created:

Dear Family of Mary!

"Dear
children! In this time of grace I call all of you: pray more and speak
less. In prayer seek the will of God and live it according to the
commandments to which God calls you. I am with you and am praying with
you. Thank you for having responded to my call." February 25, 2015

In this message Our Lady tells us several things:

1. This is a time of grace. 2. She is calling us in this time of grace to pray more, and speak less.3. In our prayer we must seek the will of God (for each one of us, that will is special)4.
But the will of God will always comply with the commandments which God
has already given us (i.e. the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and the
laws of the Church).5. Our Lady prays with us to do these things.

This
is a simple and beautiful message. Our response should be equally
simple. If we are aware that this is a time of grace, we will not
hesitate to respond to this message. If we pray more and speak less, we
will receive much more grace in this time. And if we pray more we will
be able to discern God's will for us, and discern it well through
reflection upon the commandments and beatitudes etc. We will in this
way become better apostles, better helpers of Our Lady who is with us at
this time of grace.

Being
in Medjugorje for me at this time is truly amazing. I do feel the grace
of this time here. When we left last Thursday, our plane was delayed
for hours, and it seemed we would not make our connections. We had no
recourse but to pray and pray and pray! And of course we finally
departed, in the nick of time, and made our connections in peace. We
arrived in Medjugorje on Friday evening, in time for Holy Mass and Confession. What a way to begin our pilgrimage!

The
next two days have been equally amazing. So busy, but so peaceful. For
me the most beautiful moment so far was yesterday morning. I woke
early and walked by myself through the fields to Apparition Hill. There
were very few people out at that time, so my climb was peaceful and
meditative. I was able to spend an hour or so at the apparition site. I
prayed for all of you, for all your intentions and for all those who
have asked for prayer. I also felt able to rest in Mary's presence,
letting her mother me. It was such a blessing.

When I got back
to our room, I switched on the pov camera on Mary TV's website, and was
amazed at how clearly you could see the statue! Tom Matasso has
installed the new camera, and it is much stronger and clearer. Denis
said he could see me up on the hill! How neat!

Taken as well from our window!

I
didn't take pictures on that climb because I didn't want to be
distracted. But here is a picture of Apparition Hill from where we are
staying. From our window we can see Apparition Hill, Cross Mountain and
the Church!! What could be better!

Know that we are praying for all of you. And don't forget that Mirjana's apparition is this morning between 8:00 and 9:00 am
Medjugorje time. The crew is preparing for the live streaming right
now. It is always such a blessing to greet Our Lady when she comes to
Mirjana, even over the internet. ( I'll be as close as I can, with your
petitions!)

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry!Below is a slide show of pictures that I have collected: Tears of Mary!

Have a look!

Jeremiah 14:17; 15:18

"Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the Virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with an exceedingly grievous evil. / Why is my sorrow become perpetual, and my wound desperate so as to refuse to be healed?"

Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia, et ubi ecclesia vita eterna

Where Peter is, there is the Church, where the Church is there is Eternal Life

About Me

I'm 80, formally married to Marianne for 52 years, [Marianne passed away to the Lord on August 9th, 2013 after suffering a stroke and two cardiac arrests.] We have 4 children (plus 2 in heaven-stillborn) and nine grandchildren plus 1 Step-grandchild. I'm a Korean War Vet, U.S. Navy; I was a Motorcycle News Courier for U.P.I., and WNEW Chanel 5 TV News, during 60's & 70's; a Lieutenant in the Wycoff Hospital Police in the 90's. I was ordained a Permanent Deacon for the Brooklyn Diocese on April 25, 1987 and served in four parishes before relocating to Florida in 2002. I'm still incardinated for Brooklyn Diocese. There was no parish in my town so we traveled to either Mt. Dora or Eustis for Mass. My oldest son and daughter, John and Anne, lived near us but the rest of the gang are up North in New York and Pennsylvania. We have now relocated to a northern state and my ministry is mostly on the Internet with some blogs and groups. I also assist the pastor at the local Catholic church. I owe my life and conversion/calling to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel de Garabandal, who has brought me to her Son Jesus. I am Their servant and slave! I only want to do the Will of God and glorify the Most Blessed Trinity with my life!

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;let me never be put to shame!In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,to which I may continually come;you have given the command to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.For you, O Lord, are my hope,my trust, O Lord, from my youth.Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;you are he who took me from my mother's womb.My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge.My mouth is filled with your praise,and with your glory all the day.Do not cast me off in the time of old age;forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;those who watch for my life consult togetherand say, “God has forsaken him;pursue and seize him,for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;O my God, make haste to help me!May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;with scorn and disgrace may they be coveredwho seek my hurt.

But I will hope continuallyand will praise you yet more and more.My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,of your deeds of salvation all the day,for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,O God, do not forsake me,until I proclaim your might to another generation,your power to all those to come.Your righteousness, O God,reaches the high heavens.You who have done great things,O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamitieswill revive me again;from the depths of the earthyou will bring me up again.You will increase my greatnessand comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harpfor your faithfulness, O my God;I will sing praises to you with the lyre,O Holy One of Israel.My lips will shout for joy,when I sing praises to you;my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointedwho sought to do me hurt.

Welcome to my Marian Blog

As you can tell from my postings, I'm in love with Mother Mary, who has taken me under her mantle of protection, has taught and led me to Her Divine Son, Jesus; Who in turn has led me, in the Holy Spirit, to the Eternal Father! Two prayers that I say often tell who I am:Come O Holy Spirit; Come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well-beloved Spouse.

O Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee. My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
